[PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] PHP dBASE connectivity

2002-07-04 Thread Miles Thompson

1. Please don't cross post.
2. Which line is #23?
3. Have you tested to ensure that you have a valid handle? ($db_num)
4. Have you tried adding error code to see the result of dbase_create(), 
dbase_open()
5. I seem to remember reading in the docs, a long time ago (2 yr) that the 
dbase functions were not really reliable and were intended mostly to 
extract info for export to another database. I could not be 100% wrong on 
that, and I've not worked with the dbase functions in PHP.

After this reply, please keep this focused on the php-db list.

Hi I need to use PHP (ver 4 windows) to add a record to a dBase iv database.

I can  create, open, read and close a database but when I try to add a
record I always get  the following error:
Warning: unexpected error in C:\php\phpstuff\addTest1.php on line 23

Here is the code [shortened] that I use to create the database table, open
the table, create the record and add the record- the database table has one
field a 10 char string:

$dbname = test1.dbf;
$dbflag = 2;
$def = array( array(name, C,  10));
dbase_create($dbname, $def));
$db_num = dbase_open($dbname, $dbflag);
$new_record['name'] = 'xx';
dbase_add_record ($db_num, $new_record);

any help, advice or code samples would be very appreciated
thanks
Labhras

thanks for your help
I have tested that everything works, valid handles, returned method values,
etc.
Line 23 is the dbase_add_record line. Do you know of anywhere there may be
an example
thanks Labhras
